And to drive my point home, I actually counted the meta scores of 360 and PS3 for 70+ games. Yup....all of them, just now.
PS3
90+ = 51
80-89 = 322
70-79 = 418
360
90+ = 53
80-89 = 351
70-79 = 511
All games, DLC that was reviewed......everything. A real, unbiased, library comparison. On paper, 360 is clearly the superior games console, offering more quality games in all 3 review brackets.
Yet in reality, you will be hard pressed to find a group of gamers to back this up. Because it was all about the PS3 in the last few years. Because the all mighty retail AAA exclusive will always trump the quality, low budget, indie game. Always. Again, I learned this lesson from PS fans, not my own.
Gamers don't care for lists, they care for the big name games above all else. Which is why the below is more fitting:
Dead Rising 3/Forza 5 > Killzone Shadow Fall (made less desirable with BF4 and COD)
Ryse > Knack
Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare timed exclusive
Titanfall > Infamous
It is simple. It is to the point. It removes the clutter of indie games. While amazing games in their own right, I learned from you guys that they are not system sellers, but bonuses to be enjoyed once all ready purchased the console for a big name game.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
